- π― 80-90% of heart attacks and 87-91% of strokes are caused by clots, not just plaque buildup.
- π‘ Normally, clots form and dissolve naturally, but dysfunctional clotting can lead to blocked arteries.
- β οΈ A key trigger for dysfunctional clotting is a leak from the gums or gut, allowing endotoxins from pathogens to enter the body.
- π¬ Excess iron can amplify endotoxins and wake dormant microbes, further contributing to clotting issues.
Factors Contributing to Dysfunctional Clotting
- β‘ Excess iron often comes from fortified foods like bread and pasta, or supplements, rather than easily usable sources like red meat.
- π· Alcohol consumption can increase iron levels in the body.
- π§ Stress and adrenaline can suppress the immune system, allowing pathogens to thrive and consume more iron, increasing clotting risk.
- π« Factors like gluten, alcohol, smoking, seed oils, ultra-processed foods, NSAIDs, and antibiotics can compromise gut health and contribute to leaky gut syndrome.
The Anti-Clotting Meal
- π Wild-caught salmon is recommended as the primary protein due to its lower iron content and high omega-3 fatty acids, which thin the blood and reduce inflammation.
- π₯ A salad featuring arugula and beets is highlighted for their high nitric oxide content, a powerful anti-clotting compound that also helps with blood pressure.
- π« Extra virgin olive oil provides polyphenols that bind with iron and reduce inflammation, while apple cider vinegar can help tighten leaky tissues.
- π§ Garlic acts as an anti-pathogenic remedy, thins the blood, and its polyphenols bind excess iron.
- π₯¬ A small serving of sauerkraut introduces lactic acid bacteria to neutralize endotoxins, or alternatives like kombucha or pickle juice can be used.
- β Green or black tea and dark chocolate (85-90%) are recommended for their high polyphenol content, which binds excess iron and offers magnesium benefits for heart health.
Post-Meal Recommendations
- πΆ A 10-20 minute post-meal walk with a focus on nasal breathing is advised to increase nitric oxide, enhance oxygen intake, and help dissolve clots.
- β€οΈ This meal and exercise combination is presented as a strategy to greatly reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
